ECSTASY MADE EASY
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1986


I can always try to forget somehow
What's a part of the past
Have a little laughter if you please.

I won't even mind if it takes awhile
I've got time on my hands
I feel another chapter in the breeze.

Somebody touched my heart string
Somebody made my heart sing
Somebody stole my heart away
Nobody's sayin' their sorry.

It's a mighty sweet music
You can dance all night
Put some wood on the fire right now
Ecstasy made easy.

(bridge)

Ecstasy I ask you
Are you a name
Or just another patron with a smile.
 
Let me analyze you
Are you a flame
Or just the dying embers of a kiss run wild.

Somebody found my heart string
Somebody made my heart sing
And somebody touched my heart last night
Somebody set me in flight.
 
It's a mighty sweet music
Take a chance they say
Put a flame in the old hot stove
Ecstasy made easy.

(bridge)

It's a mighty sweet music
You can dance all night
Put some fire in the old iron stove  
Ecstasy made easy, made easy.

(bridge)

I hope I never lose
What belongs to me
By the right of my birth
At midnight sailing out of Perth.

Getting under way
We turned 'er westward bound
On that southern sea
To see what ecstasy was worth.
